Stop using the product immediately, especially if the recall involves a fire, choking, or laceration hazard. Follow the instructions in the recall notice to get your remedy (refund, replacement, or repair). Most recalls include a toll-free number and website where you can register. Keep the product in a safe place — do not throw it away until you have received your remedy, as you may need to return it or provide proof of disposal.
The most common hazards include fire and burn risks, choking hazards (especially in children's products), laceration and cut injuries, electric shock, fall hazards, entrapment, chemical exposure, and lead paint contamination. Fire hazards are consistently the most frequent reason for recalls, often involving lithium-ion batteries, electrical components, or flammable materials.
